Maps of UK temperature and rainfall anomalies from 1910 to present day

These collections of thumbnail maps provide a simple visualisation of variations and changes in UK climate over the last 100 years. Each map presents the difference of the observed temperature or rainfall for that month, season, or year from the long term average. Select individual thumbnails to show a larger image.

Monthly, seasonal, and annual maps are available for mean daily maximum temperature, mean daily minimum temp, mean daily temperature and rainfall for the period 1910 to present.

The maps can be used to quickly answer questions like "when was the last time we had a winter as cold as this in southern England?" or "How many times in the last century have we had a dry summer?" or "How does this year compare with 1912?"

The maps are based on 5km grid-point data sets, with the anomaly information expressed as a difference from the 30-year averaging period 1961-1990.
